Great to see and hear such fascinating poster presentations & talks from many @UKCTUNetwork institutions across the UK, highlighting the diverse research landscape & dedication to advancing healthcare & systems delivery. Here is our @CTRCardiffUni collective. #ICTMC2024

We’re into the afternoon now at #ICTMC2024 and here are @ninakjacob and @martianka presenting on the crucial role of PPI involvement when designing and conducting clinical research. @TalkingTrials @ictmc2024 @ResearchWales

Also making it’s #ICTMC2024 debut the QRdigan. Why limit a QR code to your poster when you can wear one too. #betterposters #crochet #QRdigan drawntoresearch.co.uk

@amanda_horler @CTRCardiffUni @ictmc2024 @martianka @ResearchWales @CarrolEnitan @ComplexCTRU @LeedsCTRU Thank you for reaching out, our PROTECT poster is p550 during the same time so very much looking forward to meeting Holly tomorrow.

@CTRCardiffUni @ictmc2024 @martianka @ResearchWales @TalkingTrials @CarrolEnitan So interesting to hear about PPIE to develop your platform trial. Would be good to connect with our @ComplexCTRU Platform Acceleration Award team. Our PPIE lead Holly Schofield has a poster P544 Weds 9.55-10.15 sharing experience for LEAP Platform development @LeedsCTRU

Some fascinating lightning talks @ictmc2024 including our own @martianka talking about PPI involvement in shaping the design of the PROTECT study. You can check out the poster tomorrow at stand P-550 #ICTMC2024 @ResearchWales @ictmc2024 @TalkingTrials @CarrolEnitan

Very exciting to see our involvement in the development of the PROTECT platform trial protocol being shared with other researchers at the #ictmc2024 @researchwales @CTRCardiffUni @ictmc2024 #clinicaltrials

👩‍🔬 In the @ESTEEMTrial over 400 menopausal women will be able to self-refer to the study or enrol through their GP practice to study testosterone’s potential benefits: 🔗 cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/2866… @ResearchWales @UKCTUNetwork @NIHRresearch @HywelDdaHB @AskSCHE @SwanseaUni 🧑‍⚕️📝

Very pleased to be one of the public involvement groups collaborating with the exciting new trial where our main focus working with the trial team to develop inclusive strategies to diversify participant recruitment.

🌟 Announcing ESTEEM! The ESTEEM trial is investigating if adding testosterone to HRT can reduce menopausal symptoms including confidence levels, mood and energy. 🔗 cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/2866… @ResearchWales @UKCTUNetwork @NIHRresearch @HywelDdaHB 🔬💡

Digital skills, massage techniques and of course Tanpura demonstration and singing from Amruta at @MashmoomaD's event 4 @LearnWorkUK found some amazing vocal performances, including some hidden talent in the audience ! @adultlearners @SRCDC_Cardiff @Arts_Wales_

New paper describing our involvement in the design and protocol development for a platform randomised trial to evaluate diagnostic tests to optimise antimicrobial therapy PROTECT openresearch.nihr.ac.uk/articles/4-52 @CTRCardiffUni @ResearchWales

Interesting session today testing new VR headsets and content aiming to improve mental health and wellbeing @VR_Melody_Wales @RescapeVR @DrKimSmallman @CTRCardiffUni @SRCDC_Cardiff

📢 New paper - focused on how patient-practitioner communication about #trials unfolds in different ways depending on a patient's #socioeconomic status. ✅ Considerations for recruiters ✅ Next steps to make trial communication more #inclusive doi.org/10.1186/s13063…

We use participatory art approaches to facilitate diverse community dialogue and to address inclusivity in health research. Our exhibition launch featuring art pieces created by our diverse co-researchers group went down a treat. @CTRCardiffUni @SRCDC_Cardiff @CUmedicengage

Meet Christie Heiberg: a researcher working on our cancer trials. Join her as she shares her journey and the hope research brings 🌟🔬 Watch: youtu.be/SN0b3JoL7Tk @ResearchWales @CUBLSResearch @UKCTUNetwork @CRUKCymru @CRUKresearch @CUmedicengage @kerryhood @TreialonCymru

@PicklesTim @ResearchWales @CTRCardiffUni @ErnestChoy1 @karl_bang @Nannon_Phillips @DaveGuk87 Congratulations! That must feel good :-)

PhD submitted 🥳 Thank you to everyone who helped me through this! It has been great fun😀 @ResearchWales @CTRCardiffUni @ErnestChoy1 @karl_bang @Nannon_Phillips @DaveGuk87

Our new paper is finally here: Most UK #cardiovascular disease trial protocols feature criteria that exclude #ethnicminority participants: #systematicreview jclinepi.com/article/S0895-… @Trial_Forge @MRCNIHRTMRP @NIHRresearch #inclusivity #clinicaltrials
